Well a two weeks ago a cab ran a stop and hit my poor 72 dart. It wasnt too bad, but the drivers corner of the hood and headlight suround got mangled. My headlights worked fine up untill a day ago and now the headlights dont work at all. My parking lights in the grill, turn signals, and tail lights still work but the headlights dont. I checked some of the connections so see if the accident knocked anything loose, but everything seemed fine. Any thoughts on this because I am not really an electrical person.

Thanks,

Matt

Typical cab driver behaviour: "Rules are for other people, not for me!" (Or: "I come from a place where there are scarcely even roads, let alone laws, so I'll just keep on behaving as if I'm still back in Elbonia.")
You will need a voltmeter or a test light to nail down and fix this problem. Do you have either of those tools?

Too many people who were born on third base actually believe they've hit a triple.

Perhaps a headlamp wire has become pinched (or rubbed against a sharp piece of metal resulting from the accident) and then blew a fuse or fusible link.

I have seen both headlight bulbs go bad, on more then one occasion. I would check the bulbs, first. Either just plug in a new bulb, or unplug the connector, and use a test light, to see if you have 12 volts at the connector. KISS theory (Keep It Simple Stupid).

Also, lift up the carpet and make sure the connector hasn't come off the beam selector kickswitch.
